I can be a real pessimist. You know that when you win an Oscar, and you walk offstage, and your first thought is: 'Oh God, I've peaked.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's quite highly possible that I have peaked. I mean, I just can't imagine what else I could do beyond this. It's really a bittersweet kind of feeling.
I'm probably the most pessimistic actor I know. I'm always sure I'll never work again.
People win Oscars, and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head. The moment I won the Oscar, I felt the teardown the very next day.
I don't think I'm a total pessimist, so I think you can find hope in all my films.
Even I admit I may have peaked too soon.
The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.
I'm a bit of a pessimist, oh yeah, and I always think the film I'm about to make is going to be a disaster.
My pessimism extends to the point of even suspecting the sincerity of other pessimists.
People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head.
My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
